The Ironhide in "Hoist the Flag" appeared in the Power Master body, not the Go-Bot body. He wasn't specifically identified as the previous clone, another clone, the original back from the dead, or some other guy altogether. However, this clone is the only character named Ironhide known to be alive in the Wings continuity at the time.

    • Accessories: Gun
Part of the third wave of Generation 2 Go-Bots (which focused on Generation 1 characters), Ironhide is a redeco of wave 1's Motormouth, transforming into a silver Ford F150 Flareside pickup truck. Using through-axle construction for his wheels, he is compatible with most "Hot Wheels" and "Matchbox" play sets and tracks.
This mold was later redecoed into the 2001 Robots in Disguise Spychanger Ironhide, the Universe version of Robots in Disguise Ironhide, and the second Universe incarnation of Generation 1 Hoist.


I'm ambiguous!
  • Ironhide (Power Master, 1995)
    • Accessories: 2 guns
Ironhide was repurposed from the original Ironhide's Generation 2 Power Master toy.
Power Master Ironhide transforms into a khaki camouflaged-and-armored Humvee. His main gimmick is his "Power Master" pull-back motor, which you use by pulling back on his motorized rear wheels, then placing one of his guns into one of the holes above the doors, which releases a catch and allows him to zip along a smooth surface.
The Power Masters were the last toys in the Generation 2 line, and were only released in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Oddly, the Australia and New Zealand releases were in U.S. packaging, complete with Hasbro's Rhode Island address. They also conspicuously lack any mention of Takara in their stamped-on copyright information.
